Inside Lu Ruxue's office.
Like dark clouds obscuring the sun, the atmosphere was oppressive.
"You mean, Yuzhu Pharmaceutical, the Chinese medicine supplier in Jianing City, is in trouble?"
Behind the gold-rimmed glasses perched on Lu Ruxue's delicate nose, a pair of clear, bright eyes radiated a coldness.
"Yes, after the patients took the Chinese medicine pills they made, their injuries deteriorated rapidly!"
"Their competitors took the opportunity to launch a media campaign, with some even spreading rumors that patients died after taking the medication, claiming that the drugs they sold before were toxic, just not as obviously so!"
"And things weren't peaceful inside either, with some executives resigning with their entire departments to join their competitors!"
"Currently, Yuzhu Pharmaceutical is facing a life-or-death crisis due to internal and external troubles. Even the authorities have begun to intervene and launch an investigation. All Yuzhu Pharmaceutical drugs have been suspended from the market, and a decision will be made after the investigation is completed!"
Project manager Dong Qiang gave a wry smile.
Lu Ruxue frowned, lost in thought, and remained silent. Her slender, white fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, producing a crisp sound.
No one dared to breathe loudly.
Looking at Lu Ruxue's dignified appearance as she pondered, Zhuang Wen sighed inwardly: "As expected of the president, she exudes authority."
"Minister Dong, what do you think we should do?"
A few minutes later, Lu Ruxue looked up at Dong Qiang.
Dong Qiang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and pondered, "Now, some media outlets in Jianing City have started pointing fingers at us, saying that we knowingly cooperated with Yuzhu Pharmaceuticals despite knowing that their drugs had problems..."
Lu Ruxue interrupted in a clear, crisp voice, "I don't want to hear this."
Yes, yes, yes.
Dong Qiang quickly changed his tune, saying, "I think that before the situation escalates, we should distance ourselves from Yuzhu Pharmaceuticals to avoid getting into trouble."
Zhuang Wen remained silent, deep in thought.
He was thinking about what he should do if he were to make the decision himself.
"Secretary Zhuang, what do you think?"
At this moment, Lu Ruxue turned to look at Zhuang Wen.
"I?"
Zhuang Wen found it somewhat unbelievable.
Dong Qiang was also startled, and looked at Zhuang Wen with a look of surprise in his eyes.
This person is no ordinary individual.
Despite being just a secretary, she was able to participate in such important decision-making, indicating that her status was not ordinary.
It seems that his previous job as a junior employee in the sales department might have been a way for a wealthy young man to experience grassroots workplace life.
Thinking of this, his gaze toward Zhuang Wen became strange.
"Yes, I'd like to hear your thoughts."
Lu Ruxue nodded slightly, her exquisite and beautiful face showing great seriousness.
"I……"
Zhuang Wen hesitated.
Lu Ruxue frowned slightly, staring intently at Zhuang Wen, as if waiting for his answer.
"Secretary Zhuang, President Lu told you to speak, so please speak boldly."
Dong Qiang spoke up at the right moment to remind Zhuang Wen.
What is our relationship with Yuzhu Pharmaceuticals?
Zhuang Wen made up his mind to answer, but instead of replying directly, he asked a question in return.
Dong Qiang frowned.
The CEO is asking you a question, how dare you ask him a question in return?
Wouldn't doing this make the CEO unhappy?
And will the CEO answer that question?
Don't you think too highly of yourself?
What a foolish boy.
Just as Dong Qiang was internally complaining, something happened that surprised him greatly.
Lu Ruxue actually answered Zhuang Wen's question: "We have a good relationship and have been cooperating for many years. If we really want to go back in time, my father was already cooperating with them back then."
Dong Qiang was completely shocked.
Then, his gaze toward Zhuang Wen was filled with respect.
He was certain that Zhuang Wen's background was extraordinary!
"Then I think we should investigate the cause and effect of the matter first, otherwise it is best not to make a decision lightly."
Zhuang Wen thought for a moment and finally gave his answer.
"ah?"
Dong Qiang frowned, puzzled, thinking: Wouldn't this delay the best opportunity to clarify things?
If it had been any later, and the media had already closely linked the Lu Group and Yuzhu Pharmaceuticals, wouldn't that have been the end of it?
Zhuang Wen is still too young. Reality is cruel, and time waits for no one.
He disagreed with Zhuang Wen's idea, but dared not refute it. He could only turn his gaze to Lu Ruxue, hoping that the latter would make a "wise" decision.
Lu Ruxue nodded almost without hesitation and agreed: "Okay, I'll do as you say."
Dong Qiang was stunned, utterly bewildered.
Did he hear that right?
How could the shrewd and capable CEO Lu possibly agree with the opinion of a mere secretary?
This is utterly ridiculous!
But his surprise didn't last long, because Lu Ruxue gave him a task: "Minister Dong, take a few relevant personnel and come with me to Jianing City this noon to investigate thoroughly."
"ah?"
Dong Qiang was surprised.
Are we leaving at noon today?
It doesn't matter if he and his men go, but why does Lu Ruxue want to go too?
"What, didn't you understand?"
Lu Ruxue raised her head slightly, revealing her pointed, snow-white chin, her eyes clear and dignified.
"I understand."
A bead of cold sweat appeared on Dong Qiang's forehead, and he hurriedly answered.
Judging from his panicked appearance, he was clearly frightened by Lu Ruxue's words.
"You understand, but why aren't you doing it?"
Lu Ruxue's voice carried a hint of coldness.
"Understood, I'll go right away!"
Dong Qiang hurriedly answered, then jogged away.
Are you going there at noon today too?
Zhuang Wen frowned; he was worried about Lu Ruxue traveling alone to the unfamiliar city of Jianing.
